Many well-meaning former Porsche 912 and 912 owners have altered their cars, nearly beyond recognition in some cases. Restoring one of them to their original appearance is often the goal of a new owner and for many, it is not an easy task. Many answers are buried deep within parts manuals, while other answers are seemingly lost to obscurity.

While changes to the 900 series Porsches are more systematic that those on the earlier 356 models, there are many unacknowledged differences and running changes. In a number of cases Porsche superseded an original item with a superior piece. The result while frustrating to the restorer was meant to better the marque. This book attempts to bring some of these to light and also to illustrate the original part, where possible.

The purpose of the text is to aid those enthusiasts who have taken the restoration challenge—either amateur or expert, as well as entertain the Porsche trivia buff. Subject matter is limited to body, cahssis, exterior trim, luggage compartment and interior.

The first Porsche 911 and 912 models were far from the sophisticated versions produced today, but when compared with their counterparts they serve as a benchmark for automotive excellence.
